What is ‘experiencing’ homelessness?

It is extremely rare for a person to end up homeless by choice. Instead, it is usually a result of a complex combination of unplanned and often tragic circumstances. At the core of homelessness is a disconnection from the society in which they live. Being homeless is not who a person is, just a point in time that they are currently ‘experiencing’.

Why is connection important?

People who experience homelessness are often disconnected from the community - this means there is less opportunity for human connection, something we all need, and support is harder to come by because disconnection from the community translates into disconnection from people and services that can help.

Where does my money go?

Orange Sky has 31 vans, two laundry pods, 1800 volunteers and hundreds of friends who rely on us to be at the same place at the same time every week.
The money you raise supports our vans to stay on the road and makes sure our volunteers have everything they need to do the things they do best.
